making this all up as i go
from one end to the other
any wild guess is as good as the rest
if you never blow your cover

sailing away with a straight face
without a soul being the wiser
what i don't know i fake it in tow
while majoring in the minor

this slight of hand is all i have
being slightly out of mind
making it up as fast as i can
balancing on this wobbly line

...called life

When time and space
Makes a mistake
And spins out of control

***** in its wonka
Who would have thunka
Only those in the know

Beam me up Scottie
The hottest of toddy's
So I can propose a toast

Here's to the days
We used to say
We did but now we don't

Wearing a cape
In the form of escape
As superhero lore goes

Up, up, and away
Before it's too late
What's coming nobody knows

In this space and time
To late to rewind
And spins out of control

once you've tasted

love so fair

once you've seen it

standing there

once you've had it

hold your hand

once you've let it

bare itself

once it's moved

from there to here

once you've heard

it soft and clear

once it gives

its heart away

there is no need

to hesitate

once it's here

and made known

never to

leave you alone

once you've found

this to be true

love will have

ahold of you

i hold to a few different views
from more than a few of you
be them false or be them true
after all they're all my views

there are times that i might find
i view my views through different light
never hold your views you view so tight
that you can't find to change your mind

cause you too have a set of views
that bend and mold the shape of you
still we misconstrue our stated views
in what we say and do
and in how we hold our views

the time that's in between us
i've added it all up
doesn't take a genius
to see that it is love

love minus zero
gives nothing away
time loves a hero
erasing mistakes made

the root of all that's possible
leaves nothing to hide
takes out the division
multiplying on both sides

calculating what's before us
problems can be solved
doesn't take a genius
to see it adds up to love

Drunk Daddy
Went and beat us kids again last night
We try and stay out of his way
But that's hard to do most times

He lets loose when he's in the mood
And he's in the mood more times than not
Drunk Daddy
Beats us kids a lot

Drunk Daddy
What did me and ***** do
Or say to make you hate
And us afraid of you

We've not told a soul so no one knows
With our best this secret's kept
Drunk Daddy
Can't you see that we're just kids

Drunk Daddy
One day I will fight back
Give him his own medicine
When all is done and said

He won't know what hit him
Out of the blue without a clue
Drunk Daddy
If it's the last thing that I do

I'm making it all up as I go
From one end to the other
One wild guess is as good as the rest
If you don't blow your cover

Making my way with poker face
Without a soul the wiser around
What I don't know you know that I fake
With one in every crowd

I sometimes have a slight of hand
Being overly slight of mind
Making it all up on the go on demand
Is how I'm making through this life
